Synthesis of High Dimensionally Structured Mo–Fe Mixed Metal Oxide and Its Catalytic Activity for Selective Oxidation of Methanol

Abstract
High-dimensionally structured Mo–Fe oxide (HDS-MoFeO) was synthesized through an assembly of structural units supplied from Keplerate-type polyoxometalate, {Mo72Fe30}, under an appropriate hydrothermal condition. HDS-MoFeO showed excellent catalytic activity for the selective oxidation of methanol with slightly lower selectivity for formaldehyde than that of a conventional Mo–Fe oxide catalyst.
